Bokunstrong Massage | Certified Graston Provider
At Bokunstrong Massage, I understand the importance of having an evidence-based protocol that has strong evidence of its effectiveness. The Graston Instruments have been developed specifically for different areas of the body, techniques, pressure, etc. I personally find the instruments much more effective than using my hands and the instruments get the desired results much faster. The research has shown to back this up!
The General Protocol:
1️⃣ Cardiovascular Warm-Up
2️⃣ Assessment
3️⃣ Instrument-Assisted Soft-Tissue Massage
4️⃣ Joint Mobility & Soft-Tissue Stretching
5️⃣ Strength Training
Who Should Book This Service?
If you are having chronic pain, have a diagnosis from a doctor and referral for massage therapy, or Insurance won’t pay for other services then book this session after your initial “New Client” session. Perfect for anyone who has been discharged for Physical Therapy but still needs more work done. Even if you just have a lingering pain/discomfort, this service might be very helpful!
Why is Bokunstrong Massage Better?
I decided to incorporate Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFRT), Manual Muscle Testing (MMT), and Pain Pressure Threshold (PPT) Testing into the service. BFRT is an amazing way to build muscle when traditional moderate-heavy intensity strength training is contraindicated or painful. Utilizing MMT & PPT will allow me to collect info as we go through our sessions and track objective progression rather than just subjective!
▪️As a Licensed Massage Therapist, I will not diagnose any injuries or disease. We go through a functional and orthopedic assessment to determine what might be the issue. If needed, I will refer out to get a diagnosis. I can work on any injuries under the guidance or clearance of a medical doctor.
